What Hydrochlorothiazide Evolan is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydrochlorothiazide&nbsp;Evolan is a&nbsp;diuretic&nbsp;and antihypertensive drug.&nbsp;The decrease in blood pressure is partly due to the&nbsp;diuretic&nbsp;effect but probably also due to the dilation of certain blood vessels (&nbsp;arterioles&nbsp;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydrochlorothiazide&nbsp;Evolan is used for high&nbsp;blood pressure&nbsp;and fluid retention in the body (&nbsp;edema&nbsp;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydrochlorothiazide&nbsp;contained&nbsp;in&nbsp;Hydrochlorothiazide&nbsp;Evolan may also be approved for the treatment of other conditions not mentioned in this leaflet.&nbsp;Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or other healthcare professional if you have any further questions, and always follow their instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.What you need to know before you take Hydrochlorothiazide Evolan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not take Hydrochlorothiazide Evolan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to&nbsp;hydrochlorothiazide&nbsp;, other&nbsp;diuretics&nbsp;(&nbsp;diuretics&nbsp;) or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).<\/li><li>if you have severe liver or kidney disease.<\/li><li>if you have&nbsp;gout&nbsp;.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and cautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking&nbsp;Hydrochlorothiazide&nbsp;Evolan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you have had skin cancer or if you get an unforeseen skin change during treatment.&nbsp;Treatment with hydrochlorothiazide, especially long-term use with high&nbsp;doses&nbsp;, may increase the risk of certain types of skin and lip cancer (non-&nbsp;melanoma&nbsp;skin cancer).&nbsp;Protect your skin from exposure to sunlight and UV rays while taking&nbsp;Hydrochlorothiazide&nbsp;Evolan<\/li><li>if you have&nbsp;diabetes&nbsp;.<\/li><li>if you have atherosclerosis of the heart or brain.<\/li><li>if you experience impaired vision or eye pain.&nbsp;This may be a symptom of fluid accumulation in the eye (between the choroid and retina) or an increase in pressure in the eye and may occur within a few hours to weeks after taking&nbsp;Hydrochlorothiazide&nbsp;Evolan.&nbsp;This can lead to permanent vision loss if left untreated.&nbsp;If you have previously had a&nbsp;penicillin&nbsp;or sulfonamide allergy, you may be at higher risk of developing this<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For long-term treatment with&nbsp;Hydrochlorothiazide&nbsp;Evolan, it is important that&nbsp;your&nbsp;diet contains enough&nbsp;potassium&nbsp;(consult your doctor).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hydrochlorothiazide&nbsp;Evolan contains&nbsp;lactose<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have been told by your doctor that you have an intolerance to some sugars, contact your doctor before&nbsp;taking&nbsp;Hydrochlorothiazide&nbsp;Evolan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Hydrochlorothiazide Evolan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have recently taken or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The treatment effect may be affected if this medicine is taken at the same time as certain other medicines.&nbsp;This applies in the first place<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>digitalis glycosides<\/li><li>sotalol (drugs that affect the heart rhythm)<\/li><li>non-steroidal anti-inflammatory \/ anti-rheumatic drugs (&nbsp;NSAIDs&nbsp;) (medicines for pain,&nbsp;inflammation&nbsp;and fever)<\/li><li>cholestipol and cholestyramine (medicines for high blood fats)<\/li><li>lithium (medicine for manic-depressive illness)<\/li><li>carbamazepine (drugs against&nbsp;epilepsy&nbsp;)<\/li><li>selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (&nbsp;SSRIs&nbsp;) (antidepressants)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your doctor, therefore, needs to be aware of such concomitant medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact your doctor if you are pregnant or think you may be pregnant.&nbsp;Your doctor will usually suggest that you take another medicine instead of&nbsp;Hydrochlorothiazide&nbsp;Evolan as&nbsp;Hydrochlorothiazide&nbsp;Evolan is not recommended during pregnancy.&nbsp;This is because&nbsp;Hydrochlorothiazide&nbsp;Evolan passes into the fetus and can cause harm to the fetus and the newborn baby if used during the last 6 months of pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding or intend to start breastfeeding.&nbsp;Hydrochlorothiazide&nbsp;Evolan is not recommended for women who are breastfeeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving and using machines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During treatment with&nbsp;Hydrochlorothiazide&nbsp;Evolan, the ability to react may be reduced, especially at the beginning of treatment.&nbsp;This should be taken into account when sharper attention is required, eg when driving a car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are responsible for assessing whether you are fit to drive a motor vehicle or perform work that requires sharpened attention.&nbsp;One of the factors that can affect your ability in these respects is the use of drugs due to their effects and\/or&nbsp;side effects.&nbsp;Descriptions of these effects and&nbsp;side effects&nbsp;can be found in other sections.&nbsp;Read all the information in this leaflet for guidance.&nbsp;If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.
